"You haven't seen the pictures. If you saw the pictures you would cry. You would cry. I'm not going to try the case on TV but it's the worst thing I've seen since I've been prosecutor," he said.

Shannon Gore, 25, was brought to the courthouse, but did not appear in court because she too is not asking for bond, and had already lined up an attorney for her defense.

"We have to tell our story in front of a jury. I can't tell you our story but believe me there are two sides to this story," said defense attorney Ron Smith.

In court documents it appears Brian Gore has been more forthcoming with information. He told investigators the daughter had been kept in a crib he made into a cage for almost a year, and the daughter can't walk because of that. And he said Shannon gave the daughter a pop tart in the morning and one in the evening.

"I can't tell you about his statements or his credibility or his motivation. I don't know what has prompted him to say what he said or if it's true," Smith said.

On the county side, everyone seems emotional about this case.

"Everybody who has had a part of this case is our officers are coming off of tornado duty and then to deal with something like this it's really rocked our community," Hicks said.

The Gores remain behind bars and are expected back in court in August for a preliminary hearing.
